POWERLUNG
HEY EVERYONE!
My cousin shared something phenomenal with me this past week and I think you should know about it. It is called POWERLUNG.
I know, it doesn't look like much, but I am telling you I can't believe how much it has changed my life in one week. First off, know that I am not selling the powerlung. I don't profit off my testimony, and in no way do I otherwise benefit by telling you about this product. I'm just so excited about this thing and I think everyone should know about it. As I read this, it sounds to me like an infomercial, but I assure you I am simply very enthusiastic about this new tool that I'm using.
I taught singing for several years and played wind instruments in bands and orchestras before that, and I WISH I had a powerlung to train with back then! Now that I am a full time professional actor, my voice is one of my most important instruments and how I use it affects how I communicate and how I am perceived. In just one week of consistent use, I am experiencing a remarkable increase in the power and resonance of my speaking voice.
The powerlung was originally developed for athletes but has since been market towards musicians, respiratory rehabilitation, and casual users who wish to increase their general health and wellbeing. It's operation is simple. It adds adjustable resistance to both your inspiration and exhalation (in-breath and out-breath). I treat it like any other exercize in my workout and do at least 3 sets a day of 10 - 15 reps. I take it with me wherever I go so I can do another set if I find myself with 30 seconds of downtime. If you or someone you know does a lot of breathing in the course of your day, you might be interested in finding out more at www.powerlung.com. It works for me.
All Things Possible,
Chris

ahahaha Chris with my warped sense of humor i thought i somehow attached to your garden hose. hahaha oops. It sounds like its working out great for you. I didnt know you taught singing and palyed in orchestras. wow there is no limit to your talent im so impressed. Namaste! my friend. you deserve so much in your life. im glad your using your talent. Dont know that i have much use for the device though. If my voice got to strong people might actually listen to me and then we would all be in trouble. haahahah sorry i dont mean to make fun of the tool. im just a bit goofy tonight. love and hugs and again Namaste! my friend

Interesting concept and it makes sense - after all the diaprhagm is a muscle and I presume that's what's really getting the workout when you use the Powerlung (yes I was paying attention in band, music class, and during singing lessons). And if you've seen improvement in one week that's pretty high praise indeed given that you already had a clear, strong, and resonant voice to start with.
Actually, now that I think about it, given your musical background I wonder why we haven't heard you singing in something yet? Of course, Hollywood is producing so few musicals these days...

Well Tommy, it's almost like breathing through a garden hose, but harder! I was shocked at what a challenge it was at first!
Hey Dave! Yeah, I was pretty surprised too actually getting results in a week. It really works the diaphragm and also the intercostals - muscles that probably haven't had a good work-out since my senior recital in college. I hope you get a chance to try it.

Hello everyone these wild and crazy days before Christmas! Dave, Tim, what a snow machine we've got going here! Hope you are getting used to winter.
I'm intrigued by the PowerLung...especially because of the health reasons mentioned and, of course, if I ever want to learn to sing, I'd need to have some lung power. I've never played a wind instrument and not being an actor, or a public speaker, I haven't considered my voice. However, Chris is right. The voice is a powerful expression of you and how people perceive you. Another great ATP tool. Keep us posted on your progress. I'd have to put it on my wish list for my ATP tool kit :).
Are you smiling yet? I was excited today to hear two things. One about how happiness is contagious. Among networks of people. Like us!
So the smiley face is to make you smile here and over there on the other side of the Atlantic:) or Pacific. Here's a link to the story.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=97848789
And you already know how excited I am about Lynne McTaggart's work. How's this for ATP! In her blog today she writes about a similar phenomenon.
"Last week, when I wrote about the power of a group of 10 friends, we had a large group of comments from readers – many wanting to know more about the power of 10 and also how to create such a tribe.
"This week I want to share with you that creating this small tribe can prove more powerful as a preventative than any diet or drug from dying from heart disease – which is almost always, metaphorically speaking, caused by dying from a broken heart.
"Numerous studies show that people who are self-absorbed, cynical and hostile to the world also are more likely to die from a heart attack. One study actually found that the number of times a person used ‘I’ words like ‘I’, ‘me’ and ‘mine’ in an ordinary conversation multiplied the risk of a person’s dying from heart disease."
http://www.theintentionexperiment.com/start-your-own-circle-of-protection-against-a-broken-heart.htm#more-136
These are some of the reason's I'm grateful for the forum and the ATP spirit of the forum family. What does this have to do with breathing? Well, as Chris said...(I'm smiling again) if any of us does a lot of breathing in the course of our day:) we might be interested in doing that activity better. Which, if you do, learn how to breathe properly, that is, makes you stronger, happier, more positive, and as Tom says, with a stronger voice, someone might listen! All Things Beautiful and Possible to all the forum family...I appreciate this little "tribe" very much...Sue

Sue,
FYI - no real snow here in the "Riviera of the Great Lakes" (lol). But my nephew just came down from Mt. Pleasant and his car is covered in snow so I'm sure you've got plenty! Cold though *brrrr*.
A tribe, huh? Intriguing - but I certainly believe in the power of community as well. It not only takes a village to raise a child, but a village to take care of each and everyone of us. You've once again given us a lot to think about Sue, especially as we enter this annual holiday time. ATP!

SusanGail said...
Dave, do you have snow yet? Riviera of the Great Lakes? Does that mean I'm on the tundra?:)
Well, I've known how important it is for us to have several groups of people in our lives in order to maintain a healthy balanced lifestyle. And the more social networks we have, the better we age. Important, right? She uses the word tribe, but that's kind of neat, because it does imply likeminded individuals. In that blog about circles of friends preventing a broken heart topic, she goes on to mention: "But for many of us who are busy with work, partners and even children, we lack the time to set up these important social lifelines, and eventually, Once we want them, we have forgotten how or don’t have the contacts to find likeminded individuals."
This happens a lot, especially as you get older. Many find themselves with only one. Say, husband and wife. If they haven't nurtured these little
Networks, it may someday be too late. You need several to be healthy. Little groups could be family, co-workers, your theatre group, church, your exercise
buddies, or even online networks like this. A coherent community...
Another definition of "tribe" is: "A social group...or a group of persons having a common character, occupation, or interest." I've sensed the likemindedness and coherence of the forum family over the past three years...so I just dubbed it one of those unique ittle "tribes" of people who care about each other, Even If circumstances makes it only virtual. We're likeminded, because we care about Chris and All Things ossible, making that part of our lives, chatting about movies, and keeping up with our favorite actor. The more you think about it, the more ATP it is! The Power of Possible right here. And having the opportunity to plug into that positive wavelength every day. All of us have said how the forum family as helped us get through some tough times, as well as helped us celebrate the beautiful things in our lives.
So I propose a Christmas toast. To the Forum Family... Cheers to another wonderful year of ATP ahead! Sue

Got some snow - more like a dusting, though the roads got slippery. Expecting more tomorrow so I think we've lost our "Riviera" status - at least until April (March if we're lucky).

Hey everyone
yes the weather here has been about as fun as our politics both of which I have to say....stink.
We had freezing rain followed by snow so the roads were a real mess yesterday. It took me two and a half hours to make a drive home that normally takes me 50 minutes. At least I had the latest political crisis to listen to on the way. As I am sure that we are getting a more detailed version today than is on the national news because it is happening in our own state, I can only tell you that the ripple effect will stretch far and wide and many other potential "targets" are doing their best to distance themselves from the governor. It will be interesting to see how this plays out although the whole situation is very sad. Greed corrupts and I think we have the poster child for both sitting in Springfield (but not for long...hopefully)
Be safe

Hey all -
I know what you mean about the horrible weather. My T-shirt was almost not warm enough, but that was before the sun came up - whew! Close one! All this talk of snow reminds me why I live in California. But then again we have our share of weather catastrophes too. A couple of days ago we had some fog.
Thanks for the toast Sue. A toast back to all of you for all things possible. Lots of great movies out this season. Just saw Milk. Great reminder of why tolerance is so important.
Take care of each other.

Hardee har-har Chris...I see you're working on a stand-up routine. I'd suggest sticking to acting and producing...but I'm a little grumpy because I've been getting over a bad cold, while being cold, a the joys of winter!
But on the positive side, I was just out walking across my yard to the mailbox (I forgot to pick up my mail earlier) and you should have all been there. The beautiful moon was as full as I've ever seen it, the skies were crystal clear, and the frost on the grass literally glistened and twinkled. It was like being in the middle of the heavens with stars all around! The crisp, sharp air actually felt good in these surroundings and I took joy just in being alive to see the simple wonders of nature!
Enjoying winter - see All Things are Possible!

Dave,
I have to chime in here...and agree with you. Sorry, Chris. CA is a lovely place to visit, but who is the one who said once they love the change of seasons? Or is that just autumn and not winter. While Tim, Dave and I struggle through the bad snow days and I complain about power outages, Dave's right. Thanks for reminding me that it's the full moon. There is nothing more breathtaking than a full moonlit night over a snowy Michigan (or Illinois) landscape. And might we say, Dave, that this beauty takes place between the snow and the stars? I'm up late wrapping little gifts for my breakfast group...so thought I'd better check and see what's new here...seems it's been awhile since we've heard from the other side of the pond, don't you think? Hope all is well over there weatherwise and otherwise. Sounds like it's foggy in L.A.:) Hope Santa's GPS can find you...All Things Beautiful, Wild and Wonderfully Winter back home here in Michigan!

I too enjoyed the brightest moon I have seen in a long while. It cast a decent shadow in the snow. Nice thing about it, no damaging UV rays like they get in....California. After all, when was the last time you heard of anyone getting a moon burn?
Chris, T-shirts are out this time of year. I would have thought that living in a place as fashion forwards as LA you would realize that thermal is the current trend....multiple layers of it. If you are in need, just let us know and we'll gather some up and send it to you.

Hi everyone...Tim, great comments. Can't disagree. Except re T-shirts. Chris keeps forgetting to remind us about his own T-shirt line, which I presume is still going. And they'd make cool thermals for us to wear on the tundra. The bright-moon tundra.
And Dave, I was just thinking the same thing earlier today about taking a ribbing from friends. Did a lot of that last night at our annual couples' friends' gathering. It's great to know you have loyal friends/fans you can kid around with. I laughed so hard...and knowing that it's good for the soul, I laughed even harder! And this is really making me laugh!!-- All Things Fun! -- Well, one of my friends gave me a calendar for 2009, with every day a friendship quote. I was leafing through and this one stopped me, as I was thinking of this fun forum chat.
"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson...wow, did he say that? :)
This'll help take some of our cold and crankiness away, right? Be well everyone... weather in LA or MI or IL or wherever you are! Sue

"Bulked up?" Did I miss/forget something about your health, or is someone around here, other than Chris of course, doing some bodybuilding? I lift weights regularly myself, but not sure I'd call doing what I do bodybuilding (yet). But, in any event I'll take news of your bulking as good - unless it's just the bulk of all those layers you're referring too!

So after my last post, a few minutes ago, I went all the way back to May to find your post about your previous battles with weight and an inherent thinness. So, with that as a background, I for one would be interested in hearing about your current progress and where you are now!

You have a great memory. When I read your post to me I didn't have a clue what you were talking about until I went and looked myself. As far as progress goes, I would love to say that I have made fantastic progress since that post in May but the truth is that I have pretty much stayed the same. A back injury in July haulted a lot of intense training and just about the time I was healed in early October, I hurt it again although not as severe. I am back in the groove now and eating up a storm trying to add some weight before spring. My back has been getting plenty of exercise with the repated snows of this week. Here is a link to some not so wonderful before and after pictures to let you know where I came from. Thanks for the interest, yet another person to be accountable to and to keep me on track. http://s271.photobucket.com/albums/jj160/TimDyer/1a/

For all you upper midwest folks, I hope the Weather Channel is wrong with their predictions of double digit snow falls tonight and tomorrow (Friday). Supposed to be really nasty. It hasn't hit here yet but the radar says it is looming. Looks like we will have a white Xmas. Not sure everyone on this forum can say that.....

I don't think the Weather Channel is wrong this time. Schools are already closing in anticipation of the snowfall...oddly enough last year at almost this same time we had a big storm. I only remember because our university's fall commencement was cancelled because of the weather and commencement is schedule for Saturday this week...we'll see what happens!

Hi Dave, Tim...I was about to post about it too...seems we three are always on the storm track. Do you think it's coming from the west coast...say L.A.? Seriously, I heard the same. And how's this for a description? "Thunder freezing rain" off to the west...are you having that Tim? Yikes. And hopefully the "Riviera" will be spared...but I'm praying for safe travels for our daughter and son-in-law coming up through Ohio into Michigan tomorrow night. I suppose I should rest easy, since he's a Marine. Maybe. Hmmm. Moms never stop being mother bears, though. Just comes with the territory...er...tundra! Enjoying the "weather discussion" though...and also about your body building. This weekend it'll be lifting snow shovels!
Should we say "go with the snow" instead of "go with the flow"??:)
Well at least Sunday is Winter Solstice. That's something to look forward to! There's light at the end of the ATP tunnel! Sue
Almost forgot. On a lighter note, we saw Madagascar 2 yesterday for my sister's birthday. Pretty good. Trying to decide if the first was better. But enjoyed. Great for laughs. Would have gone to Australia, but it was an hour longer and we ran out of time. Any other Christmas movie news?

Hi all, this is my latest installment on the Chistopher Showerman Weather Forum. We were spared the worst and only got about 6 inches of snow rather than the 12 they said was possible. This morning at 5 am when I was outside shoveling it was snowing, sleeting, lightning and thunder all at the same time. Actually thought it was sort of neat. The roads were covered but not bad at all to drive on if you know (or remember for those west coasters) how to drive in it. Yes a white Christmas is likely as they say Saturday and Wednesday are likely additional snow falls. yippee!(not)

I had to run out to get a package. (Our neighbor (snow plowing angels) cleared it out this afternoon. Last I talked to our kids they were in Columbus, Ohio and said it was 50 degrees there. Won't they get a shock! And I understand there's more coming from your way Sat night and again Sunday into Monday. They leave for Wisconsin Tuesday, probably via Chicago. Are you dreaming of a White Christmas yet? Did you say Wednesday too? Dave, hope all's well on the Riviera:)...Sue

Today was a heat wave. We had more snow again last night but it was 33 degrees this morning and I shoveled in my shirt sleeves. The warmth is to be short lived as it is supposed to be minus 4 tonight and more snow coming. Then possibly another warming trend with rain(?) this weekend. Hope your family arrived in Sheboygan with out any issues.

Wishing you the best for the Holidays on your side of the "Big Pond".

Well, Christmas day is less than an hour away as I type this (Eastern USA time that is)and I just wanted to take a moment to add my Christmas wishes to all! Another year has gone and I'm sure the best year yet is right around the corner.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Just past midnight...Wishing you all a beautiful Christmas. Great to see Ute and Jaschenka here at this wonderful time of year. Thanks for the well wishes Tim, for our kids. Assuming no news is good news! We had rainy misty here and ice sheet parking lot at Christmas Eve church service. Just returned. Time to put my feet up, relax with some hot cider and reflect on what a great year we've had in 2008 and think about All Things Fine in 2009! Especially here on the forum. It's been fun. We've had a lively run here on PowerLung...from Tom on down! Hope Chris got some feed back on those. Sounds like some of us got extra breathing exercise in from power shoveling, though. I'll keep you posted on the kids. I could say things should be fine, since our son-in-law is a Marine. Only one thing. He has a sprained ankle at the moment and isn't a lot of help:) Enjoy the day everyone! Sue
